63% of gun deaths are by suicide, yet we focus on mass shootings (at 1.5%) being the reason why we need more strict gun laws... Like Joe Rogan said, This country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem.
I pulled the graphic from a video by Vox - https://youtu.be/Bn6hVIISA6o - Source says CDC. I tried finding the actual source from CDC... but it aint easy: http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_us.html
I feel that there is never enough awareness about mental health.
